The council shall have general management and supervisory authority of all parks and public grounds surrounding public buildings now owned or hereafter acquired by the city. The council may adopt such rules and regulations for the management, use and supervision of the city's parks and public grounds surrounding public buildings or other places of recreation now belonging to the city or hereafter acquired by it as the council deems reasonable and necessary.
(Ord. 222 § 1, 2001)
The city manager is authorized to establish, after consultation with the parks advisory committee such rules and regulations not in conflict with ordinances of the city as the manager finds necessary for the better control and management of city parks and other public grounds. If any person feels aggrieved by a rule adopted by the city manager, that person may bring the matter to the council for its review by filing with the city recorder a petition which shall be presented to the council at its next regular meeting. Until and unless amended or repealed by the council, any rule or regulation made by the city manager shall be in full force and effect as if it were an ordinance.
